10Qt pan oil volume

When changing oil on a 10Qt oil pan, I hear they really hold 9 or 9.5Qt for proper fill. But when changing the oil is any significant amount left inside the pan such as in the baffles? I assume it all drains, but I recall when I bought my black car on my first oil change it sure seemed like less than 9Qt came out even though it showed within range on the stick prior to draining. So when I drained and filled, I put 9.5 in and marked the stick myself figuring that is really my top volume level. Like most cars, the car is modified so I just thought something is off and the proper way was to put the 9.5 in and mark it. But now I wonder if all oil really does come out when draining?
